Aaron Ekblad Poised To Play Out Season With Panthers
4 months agoFlorida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad appears set to remain with the team despite his pending status as an unrestricted free agent. Lyle Richardson of The Hockey News expects Ekblad to spend the entire campaign with the reigning Stanley Cup champions. As the Panthers have lost Brandon Montour to Seattle in free agency this offseason, Ekblad should have a bigger role to play on the team. However, his health status should be a concern for fantasy managers. The 28-year-old featured in only 51 regular-season games last term and has missed significant time in each of the past four campaigns.
